MREA Golf Benefit supports three Minn. burn centers

The 13th Annual MREA Burn Center Benefit has 54 registered teams. We're happy to inform you that the tournament golfer registration is now full and closed. We are, however, still seeking sponsorship donations.

This benefit, which is organized by a committee of vendor and co-op members and MREA employees began in 2006. The members have a great time coming together to raise money for the worthy cause to support the three Minnesota Burn Centers: Essentia Health Miller Dwan Burn Center in Duluth, Regions Burn Center in St. Paul, and the Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis.

Each year an MREA district sponsors the awards ceremony and dinner. This year, the cooperatives of District 5 have the honor. Along with the cooperative's support, we have had steady support from three vendors since the tournament's inception. Amaril Uniform has contributed a towel, visor or t-shirt to each golfer. ElectroTech runs a betting hole, and Highline Construction runs a closest to the pin contest and gives away Twins tickets. The event could not continue without our member's support.

We are still seeking sponsors and you may receive a phone call or an email from a committee member. We have four sponsorship levels and are accepting auction donations valued at fifty dollars or higher.To sponsor the event, ­­click here.
